'("“Gerry'" McGeer‘s Outburst) ’Ge'rry McGeer’s slashing speech on ‘the Bank of Canada act, which he regards as a failure on the part of 'the government ‘to fulfil its cam- paign pledges, was the highlight of the Week. It was couched 'in highly 'insurrectionary terms and was deliv- ered to a tense Hmse.

Mr. Fullerton’s position is a rather anomalous one. 'He was asked last October to resign, but de- c'lined to do so, on the ground that he had ‘been given his p0sition of trust by parliament, and the 'leg'isla- tion stated that trustees could only 'be removed by an address of both houses. Hon. C. P. Fullerton, chairman of the Board of Trustees which has been administering’ the affairs of the Canadian National during the last two and a half years, came before the railway committee with an elo- quent defence of the Board’s admin- istration. He showed that the af- fairs of the railway have been im- proving, with economies effected in a number of directions, and the plant maintained 'in such a 'way as to ‘be able to take advantage of improving "business. His comparisons with the Canadian Pacific and with Class 1 in the United States put the Canadian National in a good light. Ottawa, June 9.â€"â€"Pub1ic control of credit, the Canadian National Rail- ways and the powers of taxation to 'be enjoyed by the provinces in fuâ€" ture were the three major issues dur- ing the week.

By Wilfrid Egglestnn Inflation, of course, relieves debt- ors by reducing- debt. If it raises prices, it aids the primary producer for a time, at least. If debtors are suffering from an inequitable change in the price level, then inflation 'brings them relief to which they are entitled, it may be argued.

Officers and members of Bolton Masonic Lodge held a “Ladies Night” in the Bolton town hall on Friday evening, May 15th when more than 100 couples attended. Visiting mem- bers were present from Caledon East, earner, unless wages rise as fast asWoodbridge, Schomberg and Toronto. (Favor Inflation) ‘Gerry’ McGeer and a few other Liberals favor an inflationist policy, using the central bank as an agency. The ministry, and especially the Min- ister of Finance, appear to be afraid of inflation. These monetary radi- cals score the government as being reactionary, and the Social Creditors agree. Those who feel that things would be improved by an era of eas- ier credit and more plentiful money naturally get indignant at the gov- ernment’s refusal to budge. The or- thodox Conservatives, however, tap- plaud the caution and reserve of the King administration. It all depends which financial church you attend, how you see it. i The Liberal party, in the main, isteers a middle course. It proposes.‘ ‘to secure majority ownership and! majority direction. That is all, at the moment. Whereupon ‘Gerry’ Mc- Geer, mayor of Vancouver, and radi- cal monetary theorist, rises to score his own party on the ground that the election pledges of 1935 are not, being fulfilled. He managed to put‘: a great deal of fire and sting into,l his charge. The ministry didn’t like it much; although Liberals are more tolerant of rebellion than some other parties. McGeer moved an amendâ€" ment referring the whole question“ back to a committee of the Commons; and Senate for study, and secured ‘Harry’ Stevens to second the motion.' It made the gesture rather more re- l fractory than otherwise would have been the case. The chairman of the committee said that the amendment was out of order, so it never reached a vote. I The Bank of Canada bill, which proposes to convert the central bank from a privately owned institution to one in which the majority ownership and control is in the hands of the government of the day, served to show rather wide gulfs of feeling be- tween the several parties in the House, and even between sections of the Liberal party. (Two Schools of Thought) One school of thought attaches great importance to monetary man- ipulation, and public control over cre- dit. Another school minimizes the value of these things. One school thinks it all-important that a Cen- tral Bank should be under the con- trol of the state; the other school, or one of them, inclines to the view that there is danger of state control becoming- political control, with evil effects. It is conceivable that instead of: legalizing indirect taxation by the: provinces, the outcome of all this will ' be an abandonment by the federal government of direct taxation, an a- bandonment by the provinces of in-‘ direct taxation, and thus a return to the situation as proposed by the F8- thers of Confederation. l Meantime the province will, one supposes, continue to levy, illegally, certain indirect taxes which they im- posed in some cases years ago, and which the amendment to the con- stitution, had it gone through, would have legalized. ' (Federal Invasion of Field) The Dominion government is re- garded in some quarters as primarily responsible for the situation. It will be recalled that the B.N.A. Act gave direct taxation as a field to the prov- inces. But during the war the fed- eral government, with its income tax, invaded this field, and nowadays it relies upon the income tax to pro- vide a very substantial share of its revenue. Even that was not a division on party lines; it is quite conceivable that the Senate might have rejected .it even with a Liberal majority. The members of the Upper Chamber are alarmed at the possibility that the provinces, empowered to levy indirect taxation, might levy taxes which would act as trade barriers between the provinces. The Senate thinks a step like this demands further study and consultation between provinces and the federal government. interest annually, depending on the success of the next flotation. (Senate Rejects Tax Charge) Tn the Senate, the Liberal govern- ment is still outnumbered about two to «me. Before the session started, there were numerous predictions of opposition to government measures. The first veto of ministerial legisla- tion, however, arrived last week when the Senate rejected the proposed aâ€" mendment of the British North A- merica Act which would have given the provinces the right to levy in- direct taxation. Reuben Lightheart, grand old man of Peel county, celebrated his 9151: birthday at his home at Snelg'rove on May 23rd. He was warden of Peel county in 1896 and for many years was clerk and treasurer of Snelgrove Baptist Church which he still attends regularly. Rev. J. D. Parks of Carlton Street United Church, Toronto was the guest speaker at a rally of the Young People’s Union of the Peel Section of the Dufferin-Peel Presbytery of the United Church, held in Bolton church on Friday evening, May 22nd.

Although in fail- ing health for a considerable length of time his death came as a shock to his Wide circle of friends. He farmed since his early days and for several years was postmaster and mailâ€"carrier at Ballycroy. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a member and past member of Bally- croy Orange Ladge and a Conserva- tive in politics. He is survived by one brother George and three sisters Mrs. Woods and Mrs. Withers 0’ Schomberg and Mrs. Somerville of North Adjala. Funeral was held 0“ Wednesday afternoon to the old Presbyterian Cemetery in Tecumseth. HOLDEN-PETRIE ,A very pretty wedding took place 3in Chalmers United Church, Mount ‘Dennis, when Jeanetta May Petrie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pet- rie, Weston, became the bride of Al- bert Edgar Holden,, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Holden of Toronto and formerly of Nobleton. Rev. C. A. Gowans, M.A., B.D., officiated. Mr. Harry Hawman of Nobleton acted as groomsman and the bride was attenâ€" ded by her sister, Miss Beth Petrie. After the wedding a reception was held at the Oddfellows’ Hall by Mr. and Mrs. Petrie after which the guests enjoyed a dance. There were more than 90 guests in attendance from Noblreton, Seaforth, Stratford, Buffalo, Flesherton and Toronto. Af- ter a honeymoon to Detroit, Buffalo and St. Thomas the happy couple will reside on Franklin St., Weston. Members are beginning to talk aâ€" bout the session ending on or about June 20th. The only really heavy legislation still to come is that which will set up a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

It is difficult to demonâ€" strate that increasing the quantity of money in circulation actually adds any real wealth to the country, but it re-distributes the incomes. Same people get more and others get less. _Those who are not violently anti-in- flationist usually agree that if it can be controlled it is valuable to bring about a more equitable distribution of income. After a depression, it is called ‘reâ€"flation’. if the government wants to. There was plenty of power under the old Finance Act, for that matter. But you have to have more than that.

(Plenty of Power) But whether the ownership of the central bank, or even its control, is the major issue here is hard to tell.
